This study aimed to evaluate the genes that were expressed in the healing bones around SLA-treated titanium orthodontic mini-implants in a beagle at early (1-week) and late (4-week) stages with RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq). Samples from sites of surgical defects were used as controls. Total RNA was extracted from the tissue around the implants, and an RNA-Seq analysis was performed with Illumina Tr...

Introduction: Patients with dental Class II bialveolar protrusion are generally treated by extracting the four first premolars or two first and two second premolars, and retracting the anterior teeth. This case report describes the treatment of an adult patient with bialveolar protrusion, a Class II canine and molar relationship, and lip protrusion.

to compare the success of patients with ocular hypertension, secondary to pars plana vitrectomy and silicon oil tamponade, who had an ex-press glaucoma filtration device p50 (alcon laboratories, inc. fort worth, texas, usa) to those who had conventional trabeculectomy this study has been performed. the records of 10 eyes of 10 consecutive subjects who had ex-press implants and 9 eyes of 9 conse...

This study assessed the effectiveness of modified sinus floor elevation via a mini-lateral window with simultaneous placement of implants in 20 patients with severely atrophic maxilla. Patients received mini-roundlike or a mini-slot osteotomy which was done to establish an access on the lateral sinus wall for placement of bone grafts depending on the number of inserted implants and the characte...

Surgical treatment for neovascular glaucoma has evolved from cyclodestructive procedures to full-thickness filtration surgery, to trabeculectomy with antifibrosis drugs and glaucoma drainage implant surgery. The choice of a surgical approach may be influenced by several factors, including the stage of the disease. Many surgeons favor drainage implants when the disease is more advanced or when s...
